The new Census data show urban population is growing rapidly in the US while rural pop continues to decline. We are an increasingly urban nation in terms of where people live. Southern and western cities are growing the most, some places with limited water supply as someone pointed out here earlier. But still NYC is now up to 8.8 million and Westchester County passed 1 million for the first time ever, thanks in part to Yonkers, now the 3rd largest city in NYS, passing Rochester Overall population growth is the slowest its been in a long time which isn't a good thing, but its trending much more toward cities.

I heard it was a crazy scene at Orchard Beach yday. That storm came through with little warning, wasnt really a period of dark skies developing first, just rapidly from fair skies to thunderstorm. Multiple lightning strikes on the sand sent ppl abandoning their belongings. Unfortunately the teenager in that group of 6 died.

6 people taken to Jacobi Hosp. Definitely was a light show here

High 97 till t storm raced in right now, down to 91 heavy rain, windy, lots of lightning. Spent a week in FL and I acclimated to it so this heat kinda feels just run of the mill lol. Its never above about 92 there but dew points permanently 77 - 79 makes low 70s dewpoint feel slightly refreshing.

Excessive heat warning for Thurs

The ones we hear now are the run of of mill cidadas that are around every year in mid to late summer. I read somewhere the much hyped, 17 yr cycle ones are not very prevalent in/around NYC anymore for whatever reason. Increased development, espcially in the suburbs probably. Every new sprawling condo complex or houses and its accompanying parking lot kill some off when its time to resurface. That happens everywhere though so any other factors I dunno. There are more as you go south of NYC, espically by the time to get to DC area, and west to PA as well.

66 now after a low of 61. That just doesnt happen much at all in July, late July at that. Not in recent memory. Weather apps say record low was 62, based out of closest station at LGA, but they fell a degree or two short.

That storm last night lasted surprisingly long. Had some minor basement flooding as well. Pushing a foot of rain in July. Small green space outside is now an out of control rain forest this month.

Some house shaking thunder out here

Lots of lightning now. Severe t storm warning. Storm closing in soon.

Suprised by a little downpour in lower Manhattan, really cooled off from an already moderate day. Dare I say, in late July, its actually chilly outside now.
-
Yeah the AQI got went from the "unhealthy for sensitive groups" category to just plain old "unhealthy." Dont see that around here much. Went to work in person near WTC and it was an impressive view from above, saw Hudson Yards become completely obscured as the day progressed and the haze/smoke get lower and lower, closer to ground level by mid afternoon.

Another day with backdoor kind of feel in mid summer. Cloudy, periods of rain and drizzle all day temps stuck in low 70s.
-
Explains the disparity in how this summer is perceived heat wise across the area. June was hot but July has had multiple cloudy, dreary, cool (for July) days. Those breaks in the warmth takes away from that summer feel despite a few hot spells. Jersey ppl havent experience that as much.

The sun never fully went away here. Got mostly cloudy for a time with sprinkles at worst. Real dark skies stayed in the distance. -

Sounds right..fits the progression up I 95. DC max normal high is 90 now, for most of July. First time they ever had a 90 "normal." LGA tops out at 87 (up 1 degree). Central Park tops out at 85, also up 1 degree. I remember the normal high at the Park used to be 86 though back in the 90s

Multiple deluges. Flash flooding at multiple spots in the Bronx and beyond. Major Deegan is closed with stranded vehicles waiting for rescue. That alone causes cascading traffic disaster all around and into NJ. Plus the flooding problems on the usual suspects, Bronx River, Hutch, Saw Mill etc. -
Lightning is insane!
-
I saw Lee Goldberg referencing the high yday saying..you know its really hot out if even the Park can get to 95.

at 101 now, after a brief dip. Corona, & Tremont were 102 at one point. Also, a few traffic lights going out intermittently. Same time as the emergency alert came through for NYC, to limit all power uses as much as possible
